Duncan,
Your dermatologist should be concerned about thinning the skin. My flare is now under control, but it took almost a year. My dermatologist was very quick in switching me once a systemic didn't seem to work out because she wanted me to stop the topicals because of thinning skin. Any topical with steroids should show signs of working within 4 weeks, otherwise, you are just trying to keep some of the symptoms at bay.
